We describe a method of calculating sharp lower and upper bounds on the expectations of linear combinations of kth records expressed in the Gini mean difference units of the original i.i.d. observations. In particular, we provide sharp lower and upper bounds on the expectations of kth records and their differences. We also present the families of distributions which attain the bounds in the limit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
